SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 480,826, dated August 16,1892. Application filed June 10, 1891. Serial No. 395,781. (No model.)

To all whom it ntayconcern:

Be it known that I, ENooH OHNSTRAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at J amestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Lamp-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in lamp-burners.

The object of the present invention is to prevent the air-tube of a lamp-burner becoming clogged and to protect the tube from the scrapings of a wick.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for holding a burner to a lamp while the latter is being filled, to enable both hands of a person to be free, and to avoid the necessity of removing a greasy burner and Wick from a lamp preparatory to filling.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in theclaim hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lamp-holder constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view, the burner being applied to a lamp. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of the burner. Fig. 4: is a detail perspective View of the air-tube.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a lamp-burner of any desired construction and provided with an air-tube 2, which is, as usual, arranged adjacent to a wick-tube 3 and which is provided with an extension 4, arranged above the air-tube and forming a cap or shield to prevent particles of burned wick entering the air-tube and clogging the same and interfering therewith. The extension at is formed integral with the inner side of the air-tube and is bent outward and downward and forms a continuation of the air-tube and provides side openings for the admission of air. By this construction the air-tube is kept perfectly free and there is no liability to clog and become filled with accumulation.

The bottom of the burner is provided with an eye 5, constructed of wire and soldered or similarly secured to the burn er and connect- .ed to a chain 6 at a point intermediate the ends of the same. The chain depends from the burner and has its end links engaging eyes 7 of an anohor-bar8, which is constructed of wire or other suitable material and is adaptedto span the mouth of a lamp-reservoir and to be arranged within the same to hold the burner at the side of the reservoir while a lamp is being filled. The chain and bar allow the burner to be swung over the side of the reservoir and obviate the necessity of holding the burner or removing a greasy burner and wick when it is necessary to fill a lamp, and the hands of a person are free and it is not necessary to hold an oil-can with one hand while filling a lamp.

From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings the construction, operation, and advantages of theinvention will readily be understood.

IVhat I claim is- A lamp-burner having an air-tube provided with an integral extension forming a continuation of one side and being bent over the tube and downward to form a continuation of the other side and providing side openings, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ENOOII OHNSTRAND.
